You are given two survey questions, explain what type of data type the answers provide.

Q2. What is your gender?

Answer:
assistant
The answer to the first question, “How often do you eat out?” provides categorical data as it is asking for an answer based on a choice between options (ex. “never”, “rarely”, “sometimes”, etc). The answer to question two, “What is your gender?”, provides nominal data as it is asking for a discrete answer of the respondent’s gender.
